Filling Up With Knowledge

Help me give my students sensory bin items that help us learn and grow!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Gruber's classroom raised $375

This project is fully funded

My Project

Please help support my class by helping me purchase sensory bins to allow my students to calm themselves when they are having an episode or enjoy the textures of sand/rice while learning.

My students love to have manipulatives to hold and use in the classroom.

The sensory bins will allow us to customize for different seasons or lessons and allow the children to explore different topics while playing in the bins. This will allow vocabulary growth and increase communication between the student and others. By having bins that close up and I can move, will allow me to control the times they are in the bins.
